Fantastic news but I hate hearing the dreaded 4yr deal as it usually means that they are off after 2yrs.

Doesn't all this Harry Smith rumour feel a little bit staged? We fail to sign Owen Farrell, so to save face and to stop the fans being disgruntled Wigan come up with the plan that Harry has been targeted by the NRL. But on the 1st Dec we announce that he has signed an extended deal with Wigan and tu...

All this garbage and it's just his toe that he's injured....he has another nine doesn't he? (Unless he's from St Helens where he would have 11)

It doesn't sound good if what there saying is true about injecting him up to get him on field. He's a young lad and should have been given time to heal.

Great news and I’ll glad he’s signed. But it’s the dreaded 4yr deal that often means the NRL can come knocking after 2yr

I think to qualify for a ring you have to have played a certain amount of games throughout the season....i could be wrong though!

If we are supposedly signing Farrell then nothing will be announced until after the RU World cup I would have thought, or until England get knocked out anyway.
Maybe that's why the club are being so quiet about the Smithies saga.

Maybe it was the club themselves being savvy signing Smithies on a long contract, knowing the NRL would eventually come knocking and therefore could/should demand a fee for releasing him from his contract. I get it when people say they should honour their contracts and see them out and that the clu...
